NexEdge remote control

[fuze]

(sorry for my English)

I wonder if there is any possibility to remotely control NX radios?
ex. I'm talking about configuration like this: PC <-cable-> NX700 <-air-> NX200 ( or PC <-cable-> NXR700 <-air-> NX200). I know that it is possible to start PTT in configuration PC <-cable-> NX700 / NXR700 / NX200 (using command: Speech Call Start etc.). In my configuration I have one transceiver (NX700) connected to PC and I would like to control all my other radios (NX200) through 'air'. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

I have one more question. I wonder if anyone knows which protocol is used for audio streams between NXR. I read in NXDN documentations that NXR can communicate using IP, so they have to transmit audio stream as well. My question is if they use RTP ( or SRTP ) for audio streams?

Local Control is possible with the nx series base stations. You use the D sub connector on the back of the radio.

Software/ connector

How would one connect to use the dsub port in the back for local computer control of a radio. Is there a software that should be used for this?

I am looking to set up a NX-700 to be controlled from a Windows 7 computer. The computer has serial and usb connections.

All help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure I understand the above questions? All you need to connect a PC to a Kenwood NX-x00 radio is a "USB to Serial DB25 adapter cable" - Off the shelf computer item available on internet for under $20. You will have to program the radio to send data to/from DB25 on back of radio. You need some kind of software in your PC. Kenwood's KAS-10 Dispatching & Mapping software is available for under $500 list. You can set up the Dispatching programs to make a simple remote or a complex console to control multiple radios, groups & ID's. Send & receive text and call logging.

The Mapping portion allows you to select up to 20 radios on the screen at a time. You have to furnish the map of your choice. I like to use MS Mappoint but I believe the current price is about $400. You can download Google Maps for free but takes some time to figure out the process.

If you have an internet connection at the repeater/trunk site, you can use KAS-10 to set up your PC as a "Virtual Radio" without an RF radio. For a Virtual Radio you also need a USB vocoder thumb drive. You can use the PC's built in speakers & microphone & program an "F-key", space bar and/or on-screen mouse click for PTT. The built-in mic sounds good but my experience is that the built-in speakers aren't loud enough and sound muffled. A good set of amplified external speakers designed for your model PC will greatly enhance audio quality.
